Man I didn't know what I was getting myself into with me going on this tour. We have been in the road for four days and the first show is finally tonight. For some reason IM nervous. Which is weird because I'm not even performing. I think it's because the boys were talking about me and Leah joining them on stage for a song. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea, but there is one bad thing. The fans HATE me. They knew I was dating Luke and then it just ended out of no where. They obviously weren't going to tell the fans that Luke cheated on me so I look like the bad guy. Especially after I started dating Liam. They began forming rumors about why Luke and I broke up. They began calling me a slut and a liar. The boys didn't notice though. They didn't notice because they weren't the ones being tagged in all the comments and posts and hate pages. Now I'm used to bullying form when I was in school, but this is different. This time I'm being bullied because my boyfriend cheated on me. That just doesn't make sense. I never told the guys. I feel like I should've but then everyone would say something which would just make everything worse. That's it! There is no way in hell I could go out on stage. Sadly they go on in two hours and we are currently all sitting in the dressing room. I stand up and look at them.

"Guys I can't go out on stage." Everyone looks at me weird.

"Why not?"

"Stage fright." I say. Ashton,looks at me weird. I give him a look that says 'shut the fuck up I will tell you later.' And he does.

"Don't worry Skylar, I'll be with you." Leah says. I shake my head.

"I can't guys. I'm sorry." With that I run out of the room and back to the bus.

Luke's PoV

She just ran. I watched as Liam stood up and began to follow her. I stand up too and signal for him to sit down. He looks at me weird.

"I know what this is about." I say and he nods as I run after her. To be honest I have no clue what this is about at all,  ut I know her a hell of a lot better than he does. I watch her run into the tour bus. I follow about 50 feet behind her. When I reach the bus I open the door and walk in. I hear her quiet sobs coming from the bathroom. I walk over and knock on the door.

"Rose, it's me. Please let me in." I beg.

"Go away Luke."

"No, I'm not leaving you when your obviously upset. Just talk to me. Tell me what's wrong." She swings the door open revealing her tear stained face. I hate it when she is upset.
"Rose," I say going to give her a hug but she pushes me back.

"Can't you see it Luke. This is your fault. I can't go on that stage when every single person in that audience hates me Becca use of you."

"What do you mean, they don't hate you?" She hands me her phone. I look at the page pulled up on instagram. @skylarsucks. Is this a hate page? Why would they do this to Skylar. I scroll through the posts and comments. They are all about the same thing. How she 'broke my heart'. This is all my fault.
"I had no idea." I whisper scrolling through all the comments that have been going on since the day we broke up.

"Of course YOU didn't. You weren't the one tagged in every single comment and tweet. You weren't the one getting sent DMs about how your a horrible person. You weren't the one who had to see pictures of you with Xs over your face because of something you didn't even do!"

"Rose I'm so sorr-"

"You're sorry? Sure I've heard that before."

"I'm serious Skylar just let me-"

"Why did you do it? Why did you kiss her? We were doing so good. What happened that made you do that to me? What did I do? Why am I not good enough for you?" No. No no no. She is now sobbing. How could I do this to her.

"Rose." I lift up her face to look me in the eyes and I am taken aback. Her usual emerald green eyes were now dull and a hazily color. Ashton told me about this. It's happened before. She's depressed. How did I knit see it?
"Don't ever say you aren't good enough because that is the farthest thing from true. You are perfect. You are the most amazing, beautiful, sweetest and strongest girl in the entire world and I would be lost without you."

"Well then why did you kiss her?" I sigh.

"I thought I wasn't good enough for you." I say quietly.

"So you kiss another girl?"

"I don't know what I was thinking. She didn't know I was dating anyone and kissed me. I know I should have done something about it but I didn't and I hate myself for it everyday."

"Why would you hate yourself. You have a sweet and beautiful girlfriend and you're happy."

"Skylar can't you see that I'm not happy! Everyday I don't talk to you I Hey my life. Leah's nice and all but she's not who I want! I want you and only you! Why can't you see that Rose! Why can't you see that I'm in love with you." Did I just say that. Her eyes widen for only a second then they go back to her sad expression.

"Don't say that Luke. Don't give me anymore reasons to feel like I should get back together with you."

"Rose. Its true. I love you and I always have."

"I'm sorry Luke, I can't do this again. I'm with Liam and I'm really happy. Your with Leah and you should be happy too."

"But I'm not happy and I know damn well you aren't either."

"No I'm not Haley when millions of people hate me for something I didn't even do. But I'm happy with Liam." She starts walking out the door.
"We can be friends. I would like that."

"What do I need to do to get you back?" She turns to face me with a sad face.

"Let me go." With that she walked away. I stayed frozen in place. I can't believe it. I broke Skylar.
